Fighting for Freedom: The Life and Legacy of A. Philip Randolph

from Solidarity Works

On August 28, 1963, nearly a quarter of a million people gathered in the nation's capital for the historic March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Martin Luther King Jr.'s rousing "I Have a Dream" speech is the most cited moment from that monumental event, but another man, the very mastermind behind the march itself, opened the record-breaking day with a beautiful, succinct speech in his resounding baritone voice. His name was A. Philip Randolph, and for the latest episode of Solidarity Works, we dive into his life and legacy by talking with the president of the A. Philip Randolph Institute, Clayola Brown, who is also the new head of the AFL-CIO Civil, Human, and Women's Rights Department.
